Дневник Глумова (1923)

Filmic insert to Eisenstein's modernized, free adaptation of Ostrovskiy's 19th-century Russian stage play, "The Wise Man" ("Na vsyakogo mudretsa dovolno prostoty"). The anti-hero Glumov tries to escape exposure in the midst of acrobatics, derring-do, and farcical clowning. Several members of Eisenstein's troupe at the legendary "Proletkult" stage theatre in Moscow briefly appear in this little film.

Glumov's Diary is a 1923 Soviet silent trick film, which was the first film directed by Sergei Eisenstein. It was conceived as a part of the theatre production of Alexander Ostrovsky’s 1868 comedy Enough Stupidity in Every Wise Man and it marks Eisenstein's transition from theatre stage director to film director.

Production and release

Glumov's Diary was a short film produced as a part the theatre production of Alexander Ostrovsky’s 1868 comedy Enough Stupidity in Every Wise Man (Na vsyakovo mudretsa dovolno prostoty) that Eisenstein realised in 1923 for the Proletkult organisation. In the revolutionary context of the Soviet Union established one year before in 1922, the aim of this organisation was to create a new artistic aesthetics suitable for the working class.

Following Eisenstein's request at the beginning of 1923 Boris Mikhin, the director of Goskino supplied him with the necessary filmstock and appointed Dziga Vertov as consultant. The film was shot in April 1923 around the Arseny Morozov House in Moscow where the Proletkult theatre productions were taking place, a few days before the première of the play and was screened during the live performance.

The film was eventually included in number 16 of Dziga Vertov's Kino-Pravda (Film Truth) newsreel series, released on 21 May 1923 under the title Spring Smiles of the Proletkult (Vesennie ulybki Proletkulta).
